This cope has to end. Yonko at worst do high diff admirals, and this works even for laido and big meme.
When an old and sick WB, was able to literally crush the strongest admiral alive, you just can't say that admirals are as strong, or even a decent match for them.
Hell even now, current luffy would probably extreme diff admirals without plot armor, while he will still be beaten again by laido, one of the weakest yonko in this very arc, and this even with plot armor.
